How The Pentax DA 35mm f/2.4 AL Can Improve Shots

The Pentax - DA 35mm f/2.4 AL lens can improve your photographs in a number of different situations. It has an angle of view similar to that of the human eye, making it ideal for images that have a natural looking point of view. Here, we run down some top situations in which this lens will improve your shots. 

Portraits:
The 35mm f/2.4 is a great lens for capturing bokeh, as well as providing a natural looking image of the person being portrayed. Shoot at a conversational distance away from the subject as this will enable you to capture the natural expressional on their face. The lens enables your subject to stand out more from the background of the image, thanks to the impressive bokeh the lens creates. 

Landscapes:
Shooting landscapes from a slightly different perspective or angle can really liven up what would otherwise be a distinctly ordinary shot. The 35mm f/2.4 lens allows you to do this with ease. Rather than shooting from a standing position, why not try crouching lower to the ground, giving the shot more foreground interest and leading the eye through the image. 

Animals:
The 35mm f/2.4 is also great for photographing animals. If you're shooting in an indoor environment, the wide aperture will enable you to let more light into the image, whilst nicely blurring the background, too. It's a good idea to get down to the level of the animal where you can create a more engaging shot. 

Flowers:
The 35mm f/2.4 lens enables you to capture vivid, lively images of flowers. As the lens is a fixed focal length lens, it encourages you to move around and explore new angles that can result in an image that wouldn't have been possible with a zoom lens.
